第2篇 圣誕節(jié)演講稿【英文版】
do you know? origin of chdstmas——圣誕由來
the name christmas is short for“christ’s mass”.a mass is a kind of church service.christmas is a religious festivai.it is the day we celebrate as the birthday of jesus.
there are special christmas services in christian churches all over the world.but many of the festivities of christmas do not have anything to do with religion.e_changing gifts and sending christmas cards are the modern ways of celebrating the christmas in the world.
the birth of jesus had a story:in nazareth,a city of galilee.the virgin’s name was mary was betrothed to joseph.before they came together,she was found with
child of the holy spirit.joseph,her husband was minded to put her away secretly.while he thought about these things,gabriel,an angel of the lord appeared to him in a
dream and told him did not be afraid to take mary as wife.and mary,will bring forth a son,and he shall call his name,jesus,for he will save his people from their sins.
before jesus births.joseph and mary came to quintus was governing syria.so all went to be registered,everyone to his own city.joseph also went up out of
galilee.out of the city of nazareth.into judea,to the city of david.which is called bethlehem,because he was of the house and of the lineage of david,to be registered with mary。his betrothed wife,who was with child.so it was that while they were there.the days were completed for her to be delivered.and she brought forth her firstborn son.and wrapped him in swaddling cloths.and laid him in a
manger.because there was no room for them jn the jnn.and that.christmas is the feast of the nativity of jesus.is on 25th,december every year.but nobody know the acluai birthday of jesus.and the christmas has become popular when christmas cards appeared in 1 846 and the concept of a joily santa claus was first made popular in nineteenth century.
“圣誕節(jié)”這個(gè)名稱是“基督彌撒”的縮寫。彌撒是教會(huì)的一種禮拜儀式。耶誕節(jié)是一個(gè)宗節(jié)我們把它當(dāng)作耶穌的誕辰來慶祝,因而又名耶誕節(jié)。這一天,世界所有的基督教會(huì)都舉行特別的禮拜儀式。但是有很多圣誕節(jié)的歡慶活動(dòng)和宗教并無半點(diǎn)關(guān)聯(lián)。交換禮物,寄圣個(gè)誕卡,這都使圣誕節(jié)成為一個(gè)普天同慶的日子。
圣誕節(jié)是基督教世界最大的節(jié)日。4世紀(jì)初,1月6日是羅馬帝國(guó)東部各教會(huì)紀(jì)念耶穌降生和受洗的雙重節(jié)日、稱為“主顯節(jié)”epiphany,亦稱“顯現(xiàn)節(jié)”即上帝通過耶穌向世人顯示自己。當(dāng)時(shí)只有耶路撒冷的教會(huì)例外,那里只紀(jì)念耶穌的誕生而不紀(jì)念耶穌的受洗。后來歷史學(xué)家們?cè)诹_馬基督徒習(xí)用的日歷中發(fā)現(xiàn)公元354年12月25日頁內(nèi)記錄著:“基督降生在猶大的伯利恒。”經(jīng)過研究,一般認(rèn)為12月25日伴為圣誕節(jié)可能開始于公元336年的羅馬教會(huì))約在公元375年傳到小亞細(xì)亞的安提阿,公元430年傳到埃及的亞歷山大里亞,耶路撒冷的教會(huì)接受得最晚,而亞美尼亞的教會(huì)則仍然堅(jiān)持1月6日主顯節(jié)是耶穌的誕辰。
12月25日原來是波斯太陽神(即光明之神)密特拉(mithra)的誕辰,是一個(gè)異教徒節(jié)日,同時(shí)太陽神也是羅馬國(guó)教眾神之一。這一天又是羅馬歷書的冬至節(jié),崇拜太陽神的異教徒都把這一天當(dāng)作春天的希望,萬物復(fù)蘇的開始??赡苡捎谶@個(gè)原因,羅馬教會(huì)才選擇這一天作為圣誕節(jié)。這是教會(huì)初期力圖把異教徒的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣基督教化的措施之一。
后來,雖然大多數(shù)教會(huì)都接受12月25日為圣誕節(jié),但又固各地教會(huì)使用的歷書不同,具體日期不能統(tǒng)一,于是就把12月24日到第二年的1月6日定為圣誕節(jié)節(jié)期(christmas tide),各地教會(huì)可以根據(jù)當(dāng)?shù)鼐唧w情況在這段節(jié)期之內(nèi)慶祝圣誕節(jié)。自從12月25日被大多數(shù)教會(huì)公認(rèn)為圣誕節(jié)后,原來1月6日的主顯節(jié)就只紀(jì)念耶穌受洗了,但天主教會(huì)又把1月6日定為“三王來朝節(jié)”,以紀(jì)念耶穌生時(shí)東方三王(即三位博士)來朝拜的故事。隨著基督教的廣泛傳播,圣誕節(jié)已成為各教派基督徒,甚至廣大非基督徒群眾的一個(gè)重要節(jié)日。在歐美許多國(guó)家里,人們非常重視這個(gè)節(jié)日,把它和新年連在一起,而慶祝活動(dòng)之熱鬧與隆重大大超過了新年,成為一個(gè)全民的節(jié)日。12月25日的主要紀(jì)念活動(dòng)都與耶穌降生的傳說有關(guān)。

第3篇 1957年的女王圣誕演講稿
happy christmas.
twenty-five years ago my grandfather broadcast the first of these christmas messages. today is another landmark because television has made it possible for many of you to see me in your homes on christmas day. my own family often gather round to watch television as they are this moment, and that is how i imagine you now.
i very much hope that this new medium will make my christmas message more personal and direct.
it is inevitable that i should seem a rather remote figure to many of you. a successor to the kings and queens of history; someone whose face may be familiar in newspapers and films but who never really touches your personal lives. but now at least for a few minutes i welcome you to the peace of my own home.
that it is possible for some of you to see me today is just another e_ample of the speed at which things are changing all around us. because of these changes i am not surprised that many people feel lost and unable to decide what to hold on to and what to discard. how to take advantage of the new life without losing the best of the old.
but it is not the new inventions which are the difficulty. the trouble is caused by unthinking people who carelessly throw away ageless ideals as if they were old and outworn machinery.
they would have religion thrown aside, morality in personal and public life made meaningless, honestly counted as foolishness and self-interest set up in place of self-restraint.
at this critical moment in our history we will certainly lose the trust and respect of the world if we just abandon those fundamental principles which guided the men and women who built the greatness of this country and commonwealth.
today we need a special kind of courage, not the kind needed in battle but a kind which makes us stand up for everything that we know is right, everything that is true and honest. we need the kind of courage that can withstand the subtle corruption of the cynics so that we can show the world that we are not afraid of the future.
it has always been easy to hate and destroy. to build and to cherish is much more difficult. that is why we can take a pride in the new commonwealth we are building.
this year ghana and malaya joined our brotherhood. both these countries are now entirely self-governing. both achieved their new status amicably and peacefully.
this advance is a wonderful tribute to the efforts of men of goodwill who have worked together as friends, and i welcome these two countries with all my heart.
last october i opened the new canadian parliament, and as you know this was the first time that any sovereign had done so in ottawa. once again i was overwhelmed by the loyalty and enthusiasm of my canadian people.
also during 1957 my husband and i paid visits to portugal, france, denmark and the united states of america. in each case the arrangements and formalities were managed with great skill but no one could have 'managed' the welcome we received from the people.
in each country i was welcomed as head of the commonwealth and as your representative. these nations are our friends largely because we have always tried to do our best to be honest and kindly and because we have tried to stand up for what we believe to be right.
in the old days the monarch led his soldiers on the battlefield and his leadership at all times was close and personal.
today things are very different. i cannot lead you into battle, i do not give you laws or administer justice but i can do something else, i can give you my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.
i believe in our qualities and in our strength, i believe that together we can set an e_ample to the world which will encourage upright people everywhere.
i would like to read you a few lines from 'pilgrim's progress', because i am sure we can say with mr valiant for truth, these words:
'though with great difficulty i am got hither, yet now i do not repent me of all the trouble i have been at to arrive where i am. my sword i give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage and my courage and skill to him that can get it. my marks and scars i carry with me, to be a witness for me that i have fought his battles who now will be my rewarder.'
i hope that 1958 may bring you god's blessing and all the things you long for.
and so i wish you all, young and old, wherever you may be, all the fun and enjoyment, and the peace of a very happy christmas.
第4篇 圣誕節(jié)的演講稿范文
合:同學(xué)們,老師們,大家好!
甲:星河燦爛、圣誕祝福,親愛的同學(xué)們,圣誕節(jié)快樂! 在我們對(duì)圣誕節(jié)進(jìn)行介紹之前,讓我們進(jìn)行拼魔方游戲,請(qǐng)每組派兩位同學(xué)上來將魔方還原。
乙:今天是12月25日,也就是圣誕節(jié)了。
丙:每年的12月25日,是基—督教徒紀(jì)念耶穌誕生的日子,稱為圣誕節(jié)。
甲:從12月24日于翌年1月6日為圣誕節(jié)節(jié)期。節(jié)日期間,各國(guó)基—督教徒都舉行隆重的紀(jì)念儀式。圣誕節(jié)本來是基—督教徒的節(jié)日,由于人們格外重視,它便成為一個(gè)全民性的節(jié)日,國(guó)家一年中最盛大的節(jié)日,可以和新年相提并論,類似我國(guó)過春節(jié)。
?。何鞣饺艘约t、綠、白三色為圣誕色,圣誕節(jié)來臨時(shí)家家戶戶都要用圣誕色來裝飾。紅色的有圣誕花和圣誕蠟燭。綠色的是圣誕樹。它是圣誕節(jié)的主要裝飾品,用砍伐來的杉、柏一類呈塔形的常青樹裝飾而成。上面懸掛著五顏六色的彩燈、禮物和紙花,還點(diǎn)燃著圣誕蠟燭。
乙:紅色與白色相映成趣的是圣誕老人,他是圣誕節(jié)活動(dòng)中最受歡迎的人物。西方兒童在圣誕夜臨睡之前,要在壁爐前或枕頭旁放上一只襪子,等候圣誕老人在他們?nèi)胨蟀讯Y物放在襪子內(nèi)。在西方,扮演圣誕老人也是一種習(xí)俗。
丙:“圣誕節(jié)”這個(gè)名稱是“基—督彌撒”的縮字。彌撒是教會(huì)的一種禮拜儀式。耶誕節(jié)是一個(gè)宗教節(jié)。我們把它當(dāng)作耶蘇的誕辰來慶祝,因而又名耶誕節(jié)。這一天,全世界所有的基—督教會(huì)都舉行特別的禮拜儀式。但是有很多圣誕節(jié)的歡慶活動(dòng)和宗教并無半點(diǎn)關(guān)聯(lián)。交換禮物,寄圣誕卡,這都使圣誕節(jié)成為一個(gè)普天同慶的日子。
甲:大家知道圣誕樹的由來嗎?據(jù)說大約在十六世紀(jì),德國(guó)人最先把長(zhǎng)青的松柏枝拿到屋中去擺設(shè),后來,德國(guó)傳教士馬丁路德把燭放在樹林中的樅樹枝上,然后點(diǎn)燃,使它看起來像是引導(dǎo)人們到伯利恒的星光,如同二千年前的東方三博士依照天上的星星找到耶穌一般。今日,人們已經(jīng)改用小燈泡代替蠟燭。
乙:還有一個(gè)關(guān)于圣誕樹的傳說,在很久以前,有一位農(nóng)人,在圣誕節(jié)那天遇到一位窮苦的小孩,他熱情地接待了孩子,這個(gè)小孩臨走時(shí)折下根松枝插在地上,松枝立即變成一棵樹,上面掛滿了禮物,用來答謝農(nóng)人的好意。然而圣誕樹真正出現(xiàn)在圣誕節(jié),首先見于德國(guó),之后又傳入歐洲和美國(guó),成為圣誕節(jié)不可或缺的裝飾物。他們通常用五光十色的彩燈、蠟、禮物或天使來裝圣誕樹,尤其住在美國(guó)西北部的人們,因?yàn)楫?dāng)?shù)刎S富的森林資源,他們會(huì)全家人一起去挑選一棵真正的樹做為圣誕樹。圣誕樹的種類繁多,有天然松柏圣誕樹、也有人造圣誕樹及白色圣誕樹。每棵圣誕樹上都掛滿琳瑯滿目的裝飾品,但每棵樹的頂端必定有一棵特大的星星,像征著那顆引導(dǎo)東方三博士找到耶穌的星星。而且在傳統(tǒng)習(xí)俗上,只有家庭的一家之主才可以把這顆希望之星掛上,旁人是不可以越俎代庖的。
?。捍蠹叶紝?duì)圣誕老公公耳熟能詳吧?從前有一個(gè)老人,名叫尼古拉斯,他一生最愛幫助貧窮的人家。其中有一次他幫助三個(gè)貧窮的少后送他們?nèi)鹱右蕴舆^被賣的不幸。當(dāng)尼古拉斯偷偷把其中一袋金子送給其中一名女子時(shí),他把金子從其中一個(gè)窗戶扔進(jìn)去,恰好掉進(jìn)景在壁上的一長(zhǎng)襪中。于是,將禮物放在圣誕襪子的送禮方法家挨戶地去要糖果喲!丙:據(jù)說平安夜的晚上,圣誕節(jié)老公公會(huì)駕著馴鹿雪橇滿載著禮物準(zhǔn)備送點(diǎn)這一年來表現(xiàn)很好的小朋友,他會(huì)悄悄地從煙囪爬進(jìn)屋內(nèi),禮物塞在掛在床頭的襪子里。所以孩子總會(huì)把一條條色彩繽紛的襪子掛在床頭,并在襪子旁邊放杯熱牛奶給勞苦功高的圣誕老人解渴,并送份大禮給自己。隔一天每個(gè)小朋友都迫不及待地打開禮,想知道自己得到什么獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。到了1822年,一位荷蘭傳教士把這位偉大慈善家的故事傳到美國(guó)之后,美國(guó)商人更以特殊的行銷手法,每年利用這個(gè)節(jié)日大張旗鼓地宣傳廣告,大賺一筆,在亞洲的日本及其它各國(guó)也群起效尤。因此裝扮圣誕老人來慶祝圣誕節(jié)的風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣也就漸漸地流行到世界各國(guó)了。
甲:說了那么多,下面請(qǐng)毛妤婕為大家演唱一首歌。
乙:聽完了歌曲,讓我們來玩?zhèn)€游戲。丁:請(qǐng)每個(gè)大組派2位同學(xué)上來玩“心有靈犀”經(jīng)典游戲。(進(jìn)行2次,第一次比較簡(jiǎn)單,第一組圍巾、電風(fēng)扇、排山倒海,第二組空調(diào)、洗衣機(jī)、齊心協(xié)力,第三組窗戶、自行車、左顧右盼,第四組電燈、枕頭、恭恭敬敬,第二次比較難,第一組眉飛色舞,第二組泣不成聲,第三組面帶慍色,第四組瑟瑟發(fā)抖。)
丙:現(xiàn)在讓我來考考你們吧!
甲:哪幾種顏色是圣誕色?(答案:紅、綠、白。)
乙:圣誕節(jié)是什么的縮字?(答案:基—督彌撒。)
丁:圣誕樹最先出現(xiàn)在哪個(gè)國(guó)家?(答案:德國(guó)。)
甲:讓大家一起玩一個(gè)趣味十足的活動(dòng)——“終極密碼”,游戲規(guī)則是這樣的,每個(gè)小組各設(shè)一個(gè)數(shù)字,數(shù)字大小在1到200中間,然后每組的每位成員按照從前到后的順序依次說一個(gè)數(shù)字,并且由主持人提示這個(gè)數(shù)字是大或者是小,只要每個(gè)組在全部組員輪完之前猜出正確的數(shù)字,那么這個(gè)組每個(gè)人都可以獲得一顆糖果作為獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。
丙:現(xiàn)在,請(qǐng)毛妤捷為我們演唱歌曲,大家歡迎!
甲:在這節(jié)班隊(duì)課的最后,每位同學(xué)可以思考一些時(shí)間,寫下對(duì)20__年想說的話,或者也可以把自己想唱的歌曲唱給大家聽,希望大家可以踴躍參加。
合:快樂的圣誕節(jié)聚會(huì)到次結(jié)束,非常感謝大家聆聽這次班隊(duì)!
第5篇 圣誕節(jié)簡(jiǎn)短的演講稿
校長(zhǎng)、各位老師、各位同學(xué)大家平安:
今天是全世界都在熱烈慶祝的大日子!因?yàn)?022年前,在遙遠(yuǎn)的國(guó)都以色列伯利恒的地方,彌賽亞(也就是救世主)降生了!然而我們卻發(fā)現(xiàn),所謂的普天同慶,如今卻已慢慢淪為嘉年華會(huì)式的狂歡,甚至因狂歡過度,每年都有許多人喪命!這已遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)背離耶穌降生的意義。因此,在這兒我要和大家一起分享耶穌降生的故事,以及其中所蘊(yùn)含的意義。
當(dāng)年,以色列尚在羅馬政權(quán)統(tǒng)治之下。羅馬人為了統(tǒng)計(jì)百姓的人數(shù),於是下令所有的人都要回本籍地報(bào)名上冊(cè)(就像現(xiàn)在的戶口普查)。於是耶穌的父親-約瑟,就帶著因圣靈感孕而身懷六甲的妻子-馬利亞,由定居地-加利利的拿撒勒趕回本籍地-猶大的伯利恒。由於回來報(bào)名上冊(cè)的人太多了,每家旅館都客滿,而馬利亞臨盆在即。在約瑟的苦苦央求下,一位好心的旅館老板讓他們借住在馬房,於是,當(dāng)晚耶穌就降生在馬槽中。
當(dāng)耶穌降生的那一刻,在伯利恒野地里看守羊群的牧羊人,忽然見到上帝派來的使者站在他們旁邊,告訴他們救世主已經(jīng)降生的好消息。同時(shí)出現(xiàn)了一大隊(duì)的天兵,和那位天使高聲的贊美上帝說:「在至高之處榮耀歸與上帝,在地上平安歸與他所喜悅的人」。這是第一支報(bào)佳音的隊(duì)伍,也就是后來每年的圣誕節(jié),基督徒都會(huì)四處報(bào)佳音的由來。
從耶穌的降生,我們可以得到兩個(gè)啟示:
1、學(xué)習(xí)他謙卑的態(tài)度。
根據(jù)圣經(jīng)的記載,耶穌是救世主,應(yīng)當(dāng)是無上光榮的,但他卻選擇降生在馬槽這麼卑微的地方,正顯現(xiàn)出他的謙卑。他曾說:「我來是要服事人,而不是要被人服事」;又說:「我心柔和謙卑,你們當(dāng)負(fù)我的軛」;他更曾為門徒一一洗腳。這些在在顯明他的謙卑。我們行事為人,是否也該學(xué)習(xí)他這謙卑的樣式?
2、追求心靈上真正的平安。
人生在世,難免會(huì)遭遇困厄?yàn)?zāi)禍。於是,很多人就用各種方式祈求災(zāi)禍不要臨到他的身上,也因此產(chǎn)生了各種忌諱:這個(gè)不能做,那個(gè)不能吃;早上出門要朝東走,晚上回家時(shí)要先朝南走……等。只要有一點(diǎn)閃失,就整天害怕?lián)?,這是真正的平安嗎?我認(rèn)為真正的平安是,即使遇到了災(zāi)禍,心里也不會(huì)驚慌失措。因?yàn)槟阒烙幸晃槐饶愀心芰Φ娜耍梢詾槟惴殖罱鈶n,他可以為你承擔(dān)一切的重?fù)?dān),如同嬰兒安睡在父母的懷抱中,無懼外面的狂風(fēng)暴雨。這是多麼令人喜樂的事啊!
如今,我已找到了心靈上真正的平安,不知你們找到了沒?
我的分享就到此結(jié)束,耶穌愛你,愿他賜你平安!
謝謝大家。

大家好!
再過幾天,白色的圣誕節(jié)——屬于我們孩子的,童話般的節(jié)日將如期而至,在這里我提早祝愿大家圣誕快樂!merry christmas!
12月25日對(duì)于西方人來說是個(gè)普天同慶的日子,它是一年中最盛大的節(jié)日,類似于我國(guó)過春節(jié)。你知道嗎,每年的12月25日,是基督徒紀(jì)念耶穌誕生的日子,所以稱為圣誕節(jié)。圣誕節(jié)本來只是基督徒的節(jié)日,由于人們格外重視,于是便成了全民性的節(jié)日。圣誕日的前夜,也就是12月24日,傳統(tǒng)稱為平安夜或圣誕夜。
圣誕節(jié)來臨之際,家家戶戶都要用紅、綠、白這三種圣誕色來裝飾。
說到紅色,自然會(huì)想到紅紅的圣誕帽,紅紅的圣誕襪了。平安夜,戴上紅色的圣誕帽,在壁爐邊掛上圣誕襪,然后帶著美好的心愿進(jìn)入甜美的夢(mèng)鄉(xiāng),孩子們相信,第二天會(huì)收到滿襪子的禮物。
圣誕節(jié)當(dāng)然也少不了美麗的圣誕樹,圣誕樹一般是用杉柏之類的常綠樹做成,象征生命長(zhǎng)存。樹上裝飾著各種燈燭、彩花、玩具、星星,掛上各種圣誕禮物。但每棵樹的頂端必定有一棵特大的星星,像征著那顆引導(dǎo)東方三博士找到耶穌的星星。圣誕之夜,人們圍著圣誕樹唱歌跳舞,盡情歡樂。
關(guān)于圣誕樹有這樣一個(gè)傳說:據(jù)說有一位農(nóng)民在一個(gè)風(fēng)雪交加的圣誕夜里接待了一個(gè)饑寒交迫的小孩,讓他吃了一頓豐盛的圣誕晚餐,這個(gè)孩子告別時(shí)折了一根杉樹枝插在地上并祝福說:“年年此日,禮物滿枝,留此美麗的杉樹,報(bào)答你的好意?!毙『⒆吆?,農(nóng)民發(fā)現(xiàn)那樹枝竟變成了一棵小樹,他才明白自己接待的原來是一位上帝的使者。這個(gè)故事就成為圣誕樹的來源。
圣誕節(jié)的確是個(gè)令人雀躍期待的日子,尤其是小孩子,他們盼望著在圣誕節(jié),那個(gè)穿著紅色大衣,有著雪白胡須,紅紅臉膛,慈祥的圣誕老人,趕著馴鹿,拉著裝滿玩具的和禮物的雪橇挨家挨戶給每個(gè)孩子帶來禮物。他們相信這個(gè)快樂老精靈在夜里會(huì)從煙囪下來,給他們帶來滿襪子的禮物。
既然圣誕節(jié)是個(gè)重要的節(jié)日,是不是也像中國(guó)人過春節(jié)吃年飯一樣呢?是的,歐美人過圣誕節(jié)也 很注重全家人圍坐在圣誕樹下,共進(jìn)節(jié)日美餐。圣誕大餐吃火雞的風(fēng)俗,可是他們的最愛。
祥和的圣誕即將來臨,生機(jī)勃勃的2022年也即將來到,讓我們每人在心中許下一個(gè)美好的祝愿,愿?jìng)髡f中的圣誕老人能把我們的許下的心愿一一實(shí)現(xiàn)。
最后我祝愿 merry christmas and best wishes for a happy new year! hope all your christmas dreams come true!

說到紅色,自然會(huì)想到紅紅的圣誕帽,紅紅的圣誕襪了。平安夜,戴上紅色的圣誕帽,在壁爐邊掛上圣誕襪,然后帶著美好的心愿進(jìn)入甜美的夢(mèng)鄉(xiāng),孩子們相信,第二天會(huì)收到滿襪子的禮物。
圣誕節(jié)當(dāng)然也少不了美麗的圣誕樹,圣誕樹一般是用杉柏之類的常綠樹做成,象征生命長(zhǎng)存。樹上裝飾著各種燈燭、彩花、玩具、星星,掛上各種圣誕禮物。但每棵樹的頂端必定有一棵特大的星星,像征著那顆引導(dǎo)東方三博士找到耶穌的星星。圣誕之夜,人們圍著圣誕樹唱歌跳舞,盡情歡樂。
關(guān)于圣誕樹有這樣一個(gè)傳說:據(jù)說有一位農(nóng)民在一個(gè)風(fēng)雪交加的圣誕夜里接待了一個(gè)饑寒交迫的小孩,讓他吃了一頓豐盛的圣誕晚餐,這個(gè)孩子告別時(shí)折了一根杉樹枝插在地上并祝福說:“年年此日,禮物滿枝,留此美麗的杉樹,報(bào)答你的好意?!毙『⒆吆?,農(nóng)民發(fā)現(xiàn)那樹枝竟變成了一棵小樹,思想?yún)R報(bào)專題他才明白自己接待的原來是一位上帝的使者。這個(gè)故事就成為圣誕樹的來源。
圣誕節(jié)的確是個(gè)令人雀躍期待的日子,尤其是小孩子,他們盼望著在圣誕節(jié),那個(gè)穿著紅色大衣,有著雪白胡須,紅紅臉膛,慈祥的圣誕老人,趕著馴鹿,拉著裝滿玩具的和禮物的雪橇挨家挨戶給每個(gè)孩子帶來禮物。他們相信這個(gè)快樂老精靈在夜里會(huì)從大煙囪下來,給他們帶來滿襪子的禮物。
既然圣誕節(jié)是個(gè)重要的節(jié)日,是不是也像中國(guó)人過春節(jié)吃年飯一樣呢?是的,歐美人過圣誕節(jié)也 很注重全家人圍坐在圣誕樹下,共進(jìn)節(jié)日美餐。圣誕大餐吃火雞的風(fēng)俗,可是他們的最愛。
祥和的圣誕即將來臨,生機(jī)勃勃的2022年也即將來到,讓我們每人在心中許下一個(gè)美好的祝愿,愿?jìng)髡f中的圣誕老人能把我們的許下的心愿一一實(shí)現(xiàn)。
最后我祝愿 merry christmas and best wishes for a happy new year!hope all your christmas dreams come true!

第8篇 奧巴馬總統(tǒng)、第一夫人米歇爾·奧巴馬2022年圣誕節(jié)英語演講稿
the president: hello everybody, and happy holidays.
the first lady: we know how busy this time of year is for everyone, so we’re not going totake much of your time.
but we did want to take a moment to wish you all a merry christmas, from our family to yours.
the president: this is a season for millions of americans to be together with family, tocontinue long-held holiday traditions, and to show our gratitude to those we love. and alongthe way, some of us might even watch a little basketball or eat some christmas cookies, too.
the first lady: here at the white house, over the past few weeks, we’ve had about 70,000people from all across the country come visit us and look at our holiday decorations.
this year’s theme was “gather around: stories of the season.”
and in every room of the house, we tried to tell a story about who we are as americans and howwe celebrate the holidays together.
and we made certain to highlight some of the most powerful stories we know—the stories ofour outstanding troops, veterans, and military families and their service and sacrifice for ourcountry.
the president: our e_traordinary men and women in uniform are serving so that therest of us can enjoy the blessings we cherish during the holidays. but that means many of ourtroops are far from home and far from family. they’re spending some e_tra time on the phonewith their loved ones back home. or they’re setting up video chats so they can watch as thepresents are opened. so today, we want all of our troops to know that you’re in our thoughtsand prayers this holiday season.
and here’s the good news: for many of our troops and newest veterans, this might be the firsttime in years that they’ve been with their families on christmas. in fact, with the iraq war overand the transition in afghanistan, fewer of our men and women in uniform are deployed inharm’s way than at any time in the last decade.
the first lady: and that’s something we all can be thankful for.
and with more and more of our troops back here at home, now it’s our turn to serve—it’s ourturn to step up and show our gratitude for the military families who have given us so much.
and that’s why jill biden and i started our joining forces initiative—to rally all americans tosupport our military families in ways large and small.
and again and again, we have been overwhelmed by the response we’ve gotten as folks fromacross the country have found new ways to give back to these families through their schools,businesses, and houses of worship.
the president: that’s the same spirit of giving that connects all of us during the holidays.so many people all across the country are helping out at soup kitchens, buying gifts for childrenin need, or organizing food or clothing drives for their neighbors. for families like ours, thatservice is a chance to celebrate the birth of christ and live out what he taught us – to love ourneighbors as we would ourselves; to feed the hungry and look after the sick; to be our brother’skeeper and our sister’s keeper. and for all of us as americans, regardless of our faith, those arevalues that can drive us to be better parents and friends, better neighbors and better citizens.
the first lady: so as we look to the new year, let’s pledge ourselves to living out thosevalues by reaching out and lifting up those in our communities who could use a hand up.
the president: so merry christmas, everyone. and from the two of us, as well as malia,sasha, grandma, bo…
the first lady: and sunny, the newest obama.
the president: we wish you all a blessed and safe holiday season.
the first lady: happy holidays everybody, and god bless.

大街上到處掛滿了和圣誕節(jié)有關(guān)的東西,什么圣誕老人啦,圣誕樹啦,用糖果和姜餅搭成的姜餅屋啦,真令人眼花繚亂。以下是小編收集的圣誕節(jié)國(guó)旗下的講話演講稿,歡迎查看!
圣誕節(jié)國(guó)旗下的講話演講稿
老師們,同學(xué)們:
大家早上好!
我們都喜歡圣誕老公公,可是你能說出為什么人人都愛圣誕老公公嗎?
你可能會(huì)說:圣誕老公公之所以逗人喜愛,就是因?yàn)樗耆司蜁?huì)發(fā)禮物,一看到他,就有東西拿,當(dāng)然就喜歡他了。
你可能還會(huì)說:他臉上永遠(yuǎn)都在笑,大家都喜歡高興的人。
還有……他一出現(xiàn),就過年了,過年了大家都高興。
電影《圣誕的傳說》是這樣告訴我們的:圣誕老人給人發(fā)禮物,是大方;永遠(yuǎn)都在笑,是樂觀;一出現(xiàn)就過年,是給人帶來好 消息。這些性格和品質(zhì),都是討人喜愛的,但圣誕老公公引起人們喜愛的最大原因是他是一個(gè)懂得感恩的人。
電影《圣誕的傳說》,這是一部反映圣誕老人身世的傳奇電影,講述的是圣誕老人自幼父母雙亡,他被全村人輪流供飯養(yǎng)大, 后來成為一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的木匠,為了感恩,每年圣誕節(jié)前夜,他都會(huì)把平時(shí)做的木頭玩具作為禮物放到幫助過他的人家里,再后來,他 把送禮物的范圍擴(kuò)大到需要幫助的人,進(jìn)而最終成為全人類都信奉的一個(gè)美好傳說。
聽到這里,你是不是更愛圣誕老公公了?!
同學(xué)們,我們都是有愛心,懂感恩的好孩子!那就讓我們不光在圣誕節(jié)的時(shí)候才想到圣誕老公公,愛心在延續(xù),讓我們時(shí)時(shí)刻 刻在我們的行動(dòng)中展現(xiàn)我們愛心和感恩之心!
第10篇 小學(xué)六年級(jí)圣誕節(jié)英語演講稿
it was one of the last days before christmas, and the as sistants in the large store had their hands full serving eager christmas shoppers.
at one counter an old lady was choosing gloves red ones for her daugher in law, light blue ones for her niece, pink ones for her grand daughter, green ones for her sister and by the time she had found what she wanted, the counter was covered with pairs of all colors and sizes.
when the salesgirl had finally written out the bill and was about to turn to the ne_t customer with a tired voice. 'thank you very much, madam,' the old lady suddenly cried out, 'oh, i almost forgot...'——'anything else, madam?' said the girl, 'yes,' began the old lady, 'i'd like to buy another pair, but i' m not quite sure about what e_actly i should cloose. i wonder if you could help me.' 'certainly, madam', was the girl's reply. the old lady then went on to e_plain that what she was looking for was a pair of gloves for a girl of her age. she was not at ail sure what color to choose, and the design was a problem too.
the tired girl did her best to help the old lady make up her mind, showing her ail kinds of gloves.
at last the chosen pair of gloves were wrapped up and paid for as well, and as the girl was about to turn to the ne_t customer, the old lady handed her a little parcel and said, 'these now, dear, these are for you and thank you for being so patient. i do hope you have a merry christmas !'

第11篇 加拿大薩斯喀徹溫省省長(zhǎng)沃爾2022年圣誕英語演講稿
in summer of 2022, public officials in our province of saskatchewan issued a decree: that allaffected people leave their homes and in mass e_odus, travel to places of refuge where theycould be safe and accounted for.
they were escaping blazing forest fires of epic proportions.
it was the largest evacuation in saskatchewan history.
thousands of people were on the move, all of them in uncertain circumstances, not knowinghow quickly they would return home.
for a few young women, these circumstances had an added dimension of uncertainty. theywere in the late stages of pregnancy.
these young women were living as displaced persons far from home, without the supplies theyhad gathered for their new baby.
thankfully, for all concerned, healthy babies were delivered in hospitals close by with medicalstaff to give assistance.
we are privileged to live in a province where people come together. that can be difficult whenstress levels are high.
and so i salute the evacuees, and the firefighters, and the troops, and the red cross, and thelocal officials, the mayors and chiefs.
those who shared money, food and supplies, those who prayed for an ending to this situation.all rose to the occasion.
two thousand years ago, a public official named caesar augustus issued a decree that all peopleneeded to be accounted for. it affected the entire roman world. everyone needed to beregistered.
many people were on the move, with primitive travel arrangements, not knowing how long thiswould take.
i'm sure for some young women, this circumstance had an added dimension of uncertainty.like being in the late stages of pregnancy.
for one of these young women, the time came to have her baby, her first. not in a local hospitalalong the way, not even in a clean, comfortable holiday inn, but in a stable, with precious fewamenities.
her only assistant, a most likely very, very nervous husband, with perhaps some curiousanimals looking on.
she didn't have much for supplies either. all she had were a few strips of cloth to wrap him in.and all she could lay him in was not a cradle made by her carpenter husband, but just asimple, dirty manger.
crude surroundings for a king. his first visitors – an adoring group in from the fields smellingstrongly of sheep. they were alerted by a type of atmospheric media unlike any we couldimagine.
all rose to the occasion.
this christmas, we celebrate the arrival of that very special baby boy. the 'divinest heart thatever walked the earth was born on that day' as it has been said.
his name is jesus, the essence of hope and peace and the ultimate e_ample of self-sacrificefor love.
so from me and my wife tami, and our family, and on behalf of my colleagues in thegovernment of saskatchewan: 'may you have the gladness of christmas which is hope; thespirit of christmas which is peace; and the heart of christmas which is love.'
and may you spread joy to others who need it most. merry christmas and a happy new year!

第13篇 愛達(dá)荷州共和黨參議員克拉普2022年圣誕英語演講稿
merry christmas and happy holidays. i am mike crapo and i represent the people of the greatstate of idaho in the united states senate.
this season is a time to gather with loved ones and celebrate the birth of our savior, jesuschrist. an important part of christmas is remembering our father's love. god loved us so verymuch that he sent his son to earth so that we may better understand that love.
as we love and care for our families, strive to protect them, and always no matter how grownour children get, long for what is best for them, we can start to grasp the magnitude of god'slove and reflect it not only throughout the christmas season, but also every day. for manyfamilies, this time of year is when children learn charity and service to others, and realize thatgiving to others, is always more important than receiving.
for those of different faiths, including those who choose not to observe a higher power or anyreligious faith, this season is observed with many different traditions. the season is a reminderof one of our greatest american values ensured by our constitution: the freedom of religion.many families spend the holidays volunteering to serve others in our communities. thediversity of our celebration is part of the magic of christmas. it brings people together in somany different ways, especially in service to others.
we all know people in our communities who are making good things happen. they reach out tothose who are hurting, shelter those without and demonstrate e_amples of selfless servicethroughout our great nation. many devote countless hours to lessening the burdens of others.to all those giving americans serving others, please know that you are setting lastinge_amples. acts as seemingly small as caring words or holding a door generate a current ofkindness. thank you, for your love and the kindness you share.
as we gather together with our loved ones this christmas, let us not forget to take time toenjoy the little and the big things more: the joy in the eyes of children; the laughs of friendsand family; the snow-covered trees; the food on our tables; clean water and heat – and all themany other blessings we have as americans.
this year, we have witnessed, both abroad and at home, the real threats to our way of life. yetin the face of these unspeakable acts of terror, men and women still selflessly volunteerthemselves to defend families, neighbors, communities and our nation. thank you, to all ourfirst responders and law enforcement officers who serve in the face of evil. and to the men andwomen of our military, many of whom are far from home right now missing their families andthe joys of this holiday season, we thank you. your sacrifice and dedication to your country isa debt we can never fully repay. the men and women of our military routinely give so much ofthemselves so that the rest of us, as a nation, can remain free. and to the families, the many,many military families across this country, who set an e_tra place at their tables in honor of aloved one deployed in the service of our nation, we thank you. you too bear the cost of ourfreedoms and protection of americans at home and abroad.
for many, 2022 has been a year of great challenges and impactful events. the terrorist attacksand the continued struggle of millions across america and around the world are a glaringreminder that we cannot take our well-being for granted. as this year draws to a close, i hopethat those who have struggled will find optimism in the dawn of a new year. these challengeswill unite us and our compassion will match our strength.
we live in a beautiful world with some very dark corners. i pray that more light can be shedinto the dark corners throughout this christmas season and the year ahead and that god's lovecan be felt and reflected in every corner of our hearts, of our country and the world.
god bless you all and merry christmas.

現(xiàn)在老師就來告訴大家,其實(shí)呀,圣誕節(jié)是西方國(guó)家一年一度的重大節(jié)日,是用來紀(jì)念西方國(guó)家最神圣的宗教基督教的創(chuàng)始人耶穌的,耶穌的誕生是冬天的12月25日,所以西方人就把這一天稱為“圣誕節(jié)”。
圣誕節(jié)對(duì)于西方國(guó)家的人來說非常的重要,就像我們國(guó)家的春節(jié)一樣,每年為了好好的慶祝圣誕節(jié),他們都會(huì)在頭一天晚上風(fēng)塵仆仆地趕回家中團(tuán)聚,共進(jìn)豐盛的晚餐,然后圍坐在熊熊燃燒的火爐旁,彈琴唱歌、共敘這一年的收獲和對(duì)未來的憧憬并許下愿望等一系列活動(dòng)。據(jù)說在這一天晚上,孩子們還會(huì)在壁爐上懸掛自己的圣誕襪,因?yàn)槭フQ老人會(huì)駕著馴鹿雪橇滿載著禮物而來,然后悄悄地從煙囪爬進(jìn)屋內(nèi),把禮物塞進(jìn)圣誕襪里,送給這一年來表現(xiàn)很好的小朋友。

第15篇 英國(guó)女王伊麗莎白二世2022年圣誕節(jié)英語演講稿
i once knew someone who spent a year in a plaster cast recovering from an operation onhis back. he read a lot, and thought a lot, and felt miserable.
later, he realised this time of forced retreat from the world had helped him to understandthe world more clearly.
we all need to get the balance right between action and reflection. with so manydistractions, it is easy to forget to pause and take stock. be it through contemplation,prayer, or even keeping a diary, many have found the practice of quiet personal reflectionsurprisingly rewarding, even discovering greater spiritual depth to their lives.
reflection can take many forms. when families and friends come together at christmas, it’soften a time for happy memories and reminiscing. our thoughts are with those we have lovedwho are no longer with us. we also remember those who through doing their duty cannot be athome for christmas, such as workers in essential or emergency services.
and especially at this time of year we think of the men and women serving overseas in ourarmed forces. we are forever grateful to all those who put themselves at risk to keep us safe.
service and duty are not just the guiding principles of yesteryear; they have an enduringvalue which spans the generations.
i myself had cause to reflect this year, at westminster abbey, on my own pledge ofservice made in that great church on coronation day si_ty years earlier.
the anniversary reminded me of the remarkable changes that have occurred since thecoronation, many of them for the better; and of the things that have remained constant, suchas the importance of family, friendship and good neighbourliness.
but reflection is not just about looking back. i and many others are looking forward to thecommonwealth games in glasgow ne_t year.
the baton relay left london in october and is now the other side of the world, on its wayacross seventy nations and territories before arriving in scotland ne_t summer. its journey is areminder that the commonwealth can offer us a fresh view of life.
my son charles summed this up at the recent meeting in sri lanka. he spoke of thecommonwealth’s “family ties” that are a source of encouragement to many. like any familythere can be differences of opinion. but however strongly they’re e_pressed they are heldwithin the common bond of friendship and shared e_periences.
here at home my own family is a little larger this christmas.
as so many of you will know, the arrival of a baby gives everyone the chance tocontemplate the future with renewed happiness and hope. for the new parents, life will neverbe quite the same again!
as with all who are christened, george was baptised into a joyful faith of christian dutyand service. after the christening, we gathered for the traditional photograph.
it was a happy occasion, bringing together four generations.
in the year ahead, i hope you will have time to pause for moments of quiet reflection. asthe man in the plaster cast discovered, the results can sometimes be surprising.
for christians, as for all people of faith, reflection, meditation and prayer help us torenew ourselves in god’s love, as we strive daily to become better people. the christmasmessage shows us that this love is for everyone. there is no one beyond its reach.
on the first christmas, in the fields above bethlehem, as they sat in the cold of nightwatching their resting sheep, the local shepherds must have had no shortage of time forreflection. suddenly all this was to change. these humble shepherds were the first to hearand ponder the wondrous news of the birth of christ - the first noel - the joy of which wecelebrate today.
i wish you all a very happy christmas.
